MICONIC: The spatial relationship between star formation and the AGN in Centaurus A revealed by JWST/MIRI

O. C. Jones, M. L. Jones, D. Dicken +21

Centaurus A (Cen A), the nearest active radio galaxy, hosts a warped dust disc formed in a gas-rich merger. We present JWST/MIRI imaging in three filters, F560W, F770W, and F1130W,…

MICONIC: JWST/MIRI-MRS reveals heavily reprocessed PAH emission in the circum-nuclear disc of Centaurus A

L. Pantoni, M. Baes, L. Decin +23

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are key dust components in galaxies and play a fundamental role in the physics of the interstellar medium (ISM), yet their response to AGN f…

Spatially Resolved Star Formation relations in local LIRGs along the complete merger sequence

M. Sánchez-García, T. Díaz-Santos, L. Barcos-Muñoz +25

We investigate the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) at ~100 pc scales in a sample of 27 nearby luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) spanning the entire merger sequence. In…

A Spectroscopically Calibrated Prescription for Extracting PAH Flux from JWST MIRI Imaging

Grant P. Donnelly, Thomas S. -Y. Lai, Lee Armus +24

We introduce a prescription for estimating the flux of the 7.7 micron and 11.3 micron\ polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) features from broadband JWST/MIRI images. Probing PAH f…
